1
Prepare the Peppers
Rinse the shishito peppers under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
2
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
3
Add Shishito Peppers
Carefully add the shishito peppers to the hot skillet in a single layer. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.
4
Blister the Peppers
Cook the peppers for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are blistered and slightly charred.
5
Season the Peppers
Once blistered, remove the skillet from heat and immediately sprinkle the sea salt over the peppers, tossing to coat.
6
Finish with Lemon and Sesame
Drizzle the lemon juice over the blistered peppers and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
